Granite Park Chalet is located in the heart of Glacier National Park in the U.S. state of Montana. The chalet was built in 1914 by the Great Northern Railroad and is a National Historic Landmark, being one of five structures in the park listed under the title of The Great Northern Railway Buildings National Historic Landmark. From Logan Pass along the Going-to-the-Sun Road, the chalet is a moderate 7 miles hike along the famed Crown of the Continent Highline Trail, usually referred to simply as the Highline Trail. Much of the trail passes through the scenic Garden Wall section of the park, immediately west and parallel to the Continental divide. The chalet is also accessible via the Loop Trail (4.5 miles, 2300 feet elevation gain) and the Swiftcurrent Trail (8 miles, 2285 feet elevation gain). The trails are for hikers and horseback riders only; no vehicle access is provided.
